Get drones and missiles instead. Stockpile them in locations kept secret from the US. Refit our submarines so they’re capable of launching missiles again. Keep a few subs in the Caribbean at all times so they can hit their King’s winter palace in Florida.

That would be the best deterrent, other than nukes of course… which we’d need missiles for anyway.

So buy from Russia instead because the US has become a Russian puppet and we can’t trust them anymore?

This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs

Ok, so you say the donors are not all left, so why would a politically diverse set of donors result in Mozilla having “lefties-only” hiring practices? Reading comprehension requires some critical thinking.

It seems Brendan Eich doesn’t understand that it’s a politcal diverse group that donated to Mozilla (as you do), given the next sentence. Someone with strong reading comprehension would understand logic of, but I’ll explain it to you. His statement is saying that Mozilla became a politically biased organization because of influence from those that donated to it.

Though your strong reading comprehension may have resulted in you having a different interpretation of “lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply” to mean… well maybe explain what that means to us poor illiterate people that don’t possess your intellectual prowess, LOL.

Also do you care to comment on your interpretation on the “glowies” remark? What does that word mean to you? What is Brendan Eich saying there? Something you agree with I guess.

Not gonna lose a lot of sleep over a hateful asshole getting banned from a website.

All hateful assholes believe their brand of hate is justified, just as you do.

I hope the US gets out of this as an intact democracy and without alienating every single ally in existence.

It’s about 50/50 whether the US will be able to maintain any semblance of democracy.

The alliances are effectively dead already. Dropping military support to a country during an active war is a huge no-no. No one will ever trust the US ever again. It doesn’t matter if there’s a Democrat president in 2029, no one can trust the American people to not vote in a betrayer like Trump again. The first time Trump was president, it was like “they didn’t know who they were voting for.” Just a bump in the road of democracy. This time, Americans knew what they were voting for.

And we talk to Americans on the internet, we know that Americans don’t respect their allies. The soldiers of allied countries that sacrificed everything in Afghanistan and Iraq doesn’t even register with most Americans. There is too little sense of honour in the American population. Americans only care about money now, and that’s not a motivation that can be trusted by anyone.

Sorry, but Americans are too untrustworthy for meaningful alliances to be possible.

It’s far, far worse this time.

Last go around sure, there would be a fucked up tweet almost every day, but much fewer actual changes. Yeah Trump did some fucked up shit over those 4 years, but he’s done more fucked up shit in the last month than in that whole term.

Well you already said I’m welcome, but thank you anyway.

You said it “sounds accurate” then complained about people’s criticism of it. You didn’t actually give any detail about what’s accurate about it or try to explain it in terms that aren’t “rude”.

So my reading comprehension is fine, it’s just your ability to actually explain what it is you agree with (in terms that aren’t “rude”) is lacking.

Alliance isn’t dying, just the US isn’t really part of it anymore. The need for alliance is all the more stronger and it’s imperative to remove all dependency on the US defense industry within that alliance. The US dropping military aid for Ukraine proves the US is a dishonourable country and shouldn’t be trusted for anything anymore. By all indications, the US is surrendering to Russia because Trump is afraid of Putin.

The capabilities of the F-35 only represents the capability of an adversary now. We should use the ones we have to develop radar systems so we can shoot them down, and reverse engineer it’s capabilities to improve the fighter aircraft produced by the free world (which no longer includes the US).

Which is accurate? It reads like an unhinged paranoid conspiracist. Do you think Geroge Soros runs mozilla? Do you think it’s being controlled by federal agents?

You’re wrong. Just the nature of of the auto industry makes it a little confusing since the entirety of a car isn’t manufactured in one country. But there are a lot of components for EVs manufactured in Canada. There’s especially a focus on manufacturing batteries for EVs which is the single most important component in an EV. And more plants for battery manufacturing are under construction.

I guess that’s the line? When he was promoting terrorism and dehumanizing Jews he was Twitch’s golden boy.

I’d say he’s a criminal that belongs in prison.

Canada did sign and ratify a Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with the EU like eight years ago. Still waiting for some EU members to ratify it :(

If by “funny business” you mean raise prices on products that don’t actually have tariffs on them, then it’s a safe bet that yeah, there’s going to be some funny business.

I think it would be kinda hard for Musk to buy the NY Times. I think like 90% of it’s shares are owned by the family that’s owned it for over a century.

But yeah, they don’t want to be sued.

California’s economy is about double the size of Canada’s. You probably should be considering just being your own country rather than being part of Canada. An EU style partnership between Canada and the parts of the US that secede would make a lot of of sense in that scenario.

But that’s a long way off.

I assume she was advocating against her husband’s online behavior?

I’m wondering how an CPC minority government would even work. Especially if a CPC non-confidence vote against the Liberals succeeds and pushes us into a spring election.

On the little graphs they have CPC+NDP and CPC+BQ coalition, but those don’t seem likely. Pollievre would be in an extremely tenuous position.

Yup. And we aren’t going to be 100% and mistakes will be made. The important this is we just keep putting effort into it the boycott will get stronger and stronger as we learn more about where products are made. And really most of the effort is going to be in the beginning, once you’ve figured out what your new preferred brands are, it starts getting easier.

A little tip I find useful… look at the products in your cupboards and take note of which products are US and which are not. It’s a lot more chill to do this at home than in the grocery store. Makes grocery shopping go a little faster when you don’t have to look at the labels of everything while in the store.
